The sixth and final round of the Mc Aree Engineering 2007 Border Rally Championship, An Grianan Hotel Harvest Stages Rally takes place next Saturday October 13th. The event is also a round of the Oil Burner Trading club Championship.

Headquarters for the event will be An Grianan Hotel Burt who is the main sponsor for this year’s event.

Clerk of the Course is Leonard Wilson who with his Donegal Motor Club colleagues has put together a challenging route of 87 Kilometres of stages and 90 Kilometres of road run.

Scrutiny takes place on Friday 12th from 4.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. at Colm Dillon’s Garage.

The quality of the entry is outstanding with the top 20 featuring a number of crew keeping themselves ‘match fit’ for Rally Ireland. Many crews are hoping to seal Class wins in the Border Championship.

The first car will leave An Grianan Hotel at 09.30a.m.on Saturday morning.

The event will consist of 8 stages in the 2X2 format. All stages are in the Burt/Burnfoot Area.
